Watson has yet to suit up this season, but says he's going to play on a short week, Thursday night game against the Lions. Watson was considered close after logging limited practices leading up to Week 3. The contest could feature a lot of points and Watson would provide a nice boost for Love. Assuming he does play, it would remain to be seen if Watson jumps right back into action fully. Owners should be sure to check out our rankings and projections for Watson this week.

Per the Packers injury report, both Aaron Jones and Christian Watson practiced on Friday.

Both should regain their role in your fantasy squads as respective RB2 and WR2s ahead of Week 3 against the Saints. Dillon is back in possible Flex starts in deep leagues.

No practice again for today for a second straight day for Packers’ WR Christian Watson and RB Aaron Jones, who are dealing with hamstring injuries.

Though no one benefitted from a huge target share in Week 1, Doubs accounted for two-of-three passing touchdowns from Jordan Love, after reports from camp pegged him as the quarterback's favorite target. Reed had a huge 18.4 aDOT in the kickoff game, filling into the deep-threat role. Dillon should slide into the RB1 role if Jones were to miss time, making him a very solid fantasy RB2.

Christian Watson just spoke for a couple minutes. He said there’s “a lot better chance” he plays Sunday in Atlanta than entering yesterday’s game.

Watson is dealing with a hamstring injury that left fantasy owners without him for Week 1. The post added Watson is still taking it day-by-day. Watson added, to his knowledge, an IR stint has never been a possibility. We'll continue to monitor his progress this week.

Christian Watson is OUT Sunday vs. the Bears, Matt LaFleur says.

Romeo Doubs is questionable.

Things aren't looking so hot for Jordan Love's first official start as the team's QB1. Jayden Reed looked fantastic throughout the offseason, so if Doubs is forced out, he will also make a very intriguing DFS piece. Luke Musgrave, who also showed out through the summer, is also interesting for managers who are scouring the waiver wire after learning late on Thursday that they would be without Travis Kelce.

For the second straight day today, Packers’ WR Christian Watson did not practice due to a hamstring injury.

What was setting up for a nice debut week for new QB Jordan Love is suddenly not so positive as Watson may not be on the field for Week 1. Doubs has also been limited throughout the week, which further dings the Packers offense as a whole. If Friday doesn't deliver some good news, Love will fall out of favor in Superflex leagues.

While Christian Watson got most of the attention for his big plays late last season, Doubs has seemingly become quarterback Jordan Love's go-to guy -- at least in the offseason practices. Whether it's in scripted team periods or move-the-ball drills like the two-minute simulation, Doubs has been targeted time and again. Don't forget, it was Doubs who starred last preseason when Love got all the No. 1 reps in the games because Aaron Rodgers didn't play. And Doubs was off to a strong start last year as a rookie until a midseason ankle injury changed his trajectory.

If Doubs becomes a target-hungry 1-2 punch with Watson, this inevitably pushes the rest of the Packers' options down the pecking order, most notably Jayden Reed. Reed was a second-round selection in this year's draft, but that doesn't automatically mean he will be an integral fantasy piece. This is a situation with fantasy ramifications that we need to keep an eye on.

Sounds like Christian Watson, Yosh Nijman, and Keisean Nixon all avoided significant injuries. Coach Matt LaFleur said they would be "day to day" this week.

Watson's mid-season explosion has tapered off the last few weeks, and his hip injury knocked him out of Week 15 after only 20 routes run. We should understand the status of his hip better later on this week.

Packers WR Christian Watson is questionable to return against the Dolphins with a hip injury.

Watson was having another solid game with six catches in the first half for 49 yards. We’ll see how serious the injury is, hopefully nothing major. The Packers were trailing at the half 20-13.
